Ingredients
- 12 pieces Plastic or wooden spoons
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles (optional)
- 1 sheet Parchment paper or wax paper
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to prepare for cooling the spoons.
Step 2
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Stir the peppermint extract into the melted chocolate until fully combined.
Step 4
Dip the head of each spoon into the melted chocolate, coating it generously. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the spoon onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same 20-second interval method.
Step 6
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the coated spoons for a decorative effect. Use a fork or small piping bag for neat drizzles.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies and optional sprinkles onto the chocolate while it is still melted to ensure they stick.
Step 8
Let the chocolate-coated spoons sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets completely.
Step 9
Once set, gently remove the spoons from the baking sheet. They are now ready to serve or package as gifts.
